thanks!

I find they’re faster too. Another benefit of them being distributed is the distributor doesn’t have to pay for all the bandwidth for every download, which I understand can be a considerable savings for smaller distros.

what client is that?

Haven’t looked at my ratios in a while

Ah makes sense. Thanks!

Very cool, thanks. I migrated from top to htop a while ago and never looked back, but I occasionally have to use machines that don’t have htop so it might be time to get familiar with the default tooling.

Why do they say that SIGKILL bad practice? I use it as the second tap if a SIGTERM doesn’t knock something out. The link in the article is 404ing.

I think that’s broadly true, but just because you work somewhere as oppressive as IBM doesn’t mean you don’t long to breathe the free air. I like to imagine some of the contributors to the IBM songbook felt trapped in their day job and grabbed at that as the only available creative outlet, and they had their own magnum opus that they were going to publish just as soon as they felt safe enough to take the leap. I can’t find any credits for the songs so maybe they did.

This is as good an excuse as any to break out the ol’ IBM corporate songbook

Tech has always been suits at the top, hippies at best an annoying necessity because they know how to actually operate the machine.
